I did a search and didn't find anything much about the Escapees. For some reason I assumed that the group was a Class A bunch and never paid much attention to them. But I was reading a blog post on groups to join like KOA or Passport America and the author had quite a section on Escapees. Since he generally agreed with my opinions: only Passport America and SAMS are worth joining I took his opinions seriously and he really liked the Escapees. Only $40/yr to join and they provide a lot of services. So what do you people think, worth joining? Any members out there?

The key question is the location of all the Escapees RV parks. Are they located in the areas you want you want to stay at. --------------------------------------------------That's true that is always the question with these organizations. Reason that I've never considered Thousand Trails.

We are also considering the Escapees. They have 800 associate rv sites that you can use. My main reason is not the RV sites but the other services they provide. We joined Passport America for one year. During our cross country trip we did not find one on our route that provided a discount during the season or day of the week that fit our schedule. So we dropped it. Rolin

Yeah I looked at their site list and saw several that we might have used this summer. I saw a couple that we did use in the past. They are thin on the ground in the mountain west. PPA we've found the same thing as you, but I'm going to look again since it's been 3 or 4 years since we had a subscription and our camping style has changed a bit.Their other benefits look more interesting tho.

Escapees is a good group, not just MHs. Large percentage of retirees, but they have added a group for the younger crowd. Lots of sub-groups that cover every interest imaginable. The annual Escapades are well worth attending if for nothing more than the seminars and marketplace. We've been members for years, use the parks occasionally when they are in the right areas. They also do a lot of advocacy work for the RV community.
